Re: Recommendation to Consent to the Public Utilities Board's Request to Solicit Bids and Sell One Surplus Small Bucket Utility Vehicle
BACKGROUND
Under Section 12-3 (A) of City Charter, Article XII, the Public Utilities Board (Board) has the authority to sell obsolete or unnecessary personal property, subject to the consent of the Council on all sales exceeding ten thousand dollars. In addition, City of Alameda Ordinance No. 2949, Section 2-65, Disposition of Property states that the City Finance Director is responsible for the disposal of unclaimed and surplus property. It is expected that the proceeds from the proposed sale for this item will exceed $10,000.
DISCUSSION
At the Public Utilities Board (PUB) meeting on March 19, 2018, the PUB approved Agenda Item No. 4.F.1 to Authorize the General Manager to Purchase One Service Line Worker Small Bucket Utility Vehicle in an Amount Not-to-Exceed of $139,500 from Altec Industries, Inc. to replace Vehicle 260, a small bucket utility vehicle. Vehicle 260 is a model year 2000 vehicle, which has met the expected use cycle for vehicles of this type and has a vehicle odometer reading that exceeds 106,000 miles. Due to this vehicle's age, mileage, reliability, maintenance and repair cost, and operating costs, the PUB approved replacement of Vehicle 260 and staff recommends auctioning Vehicle 260, a small bucket utility vehicle, as surplus.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
AMP estimates proceeds from the sale of surplus bucket utility vehicle may exceed $10,000 based on the $13,600 that AMP received for a 2008 bucket utility vehicle with 84,000 miles auctioned on March 3, 2017. All proceeds will return to AMP's non-operating revenue account.
